Requirement for Starting Sunbreak
to gain access to any of theSunbreakcontent,Monster Hunter Riseplayers need to complete a 7-star Hub quest called Serpent Goddess of Thunder, in which they’ll need to defeat Narwa, the thunder-element-focusedElder Dragon.
Once that’s done, players will need to speak with a certain NPCback in Kamura Village.
How to Start Sunbreak
Now that Narwa has been taken down, players will find Rondine the Trader hanging out at the bridge in the village. This is the red bridge that players cross as soon as they hop intoRise. Rondine mentions that she’s received a letter from her sister who lives in the Kingdom, stating that monsters have begun terrorizing its neighboring territories.
After a meeting with Master Utsushi, Fugen the Elder, and Rondine, players will need to tackle one of the first quests in theSunbreakexpansion; however, the first quest takes place in the Shrine Ruins, so players will need to wait before they can get to the new Elgado outpost. The quest requires players tohunt down the Daimyo Hermitaur.
Go ahead and take on the urgent quest at the gathering hub, and once it’s all done, players will need to sit and watch a couple of story scenes play out.
Once players are back in control at the village, speak to Dame Fiorayne next to the Smithy, and then she’ll take players to the Elgado Outpost. It’s worth noting that players will temporarily not be able to return to Kamura Village.
A cutscene will play out and players will finally enter the Elgado outpost and can take on thenew quests and face off against the newSunbreakmonsters.
